Why it matters

Stefanik has waited for months on her nomination due to the House GOP's tiny margin. The Florida special elections are Tuesday, but the administration has gotten cold feet about its margin ahead of crucial votes.
 
  • Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair James Risch (R-Idaho) told reporters Thursday that Stefanik's nomination would be pulled, shortly before President Trump confirmed the news on Truth Social.
  • Trump has privately expressed concern about the Florida special elections, according to a person familiar with his comments.
  • In FL-1, Republicans look on course to replace Gaetz with nominee Jimmy Patronis.
